Well,I believe your phone is not activated, or you haven`t inserted a SIM card. That isn`t a game. Neither is it a joke. You may find a SIM card at your local nearby mall. Try the Mall of Acadiana in Layfette or I would recommend any other malls. Or places. You could also find Wal-mart or like the AT&T store to find a SIM card. I say those places would work. I have an AT&T store. In the mall that I have been to several times,which is also listed up there.

You might want to check and make sure your sim card is updated. If you are still on a 2g and the network moves to a 3g or 4g your signal will get stuck in the lower part of a cell tower and calls will not transmit. Usually the carrier will update your sim for free if thats the case and you have rulled out all other problems.

It seems the only thing you can do is call the phone company and confront them about the problem. Your phone may just not be working anymore. Possibly dropped it, or got water on it by any chance? In most extreme cases, the battery will just be replaced. Nothing too bad.

sportszombie said: I suppose so. The weird thing though is that everything else works fine, like texting, internet, and games. Just the phone calls are what's messed up. And I don't remember ever dropping it or having it near water, but I guess that it's always a possibility.

Someone said: Have been having the same problem with my phone since Sept of 2011. I bought a new pay as you go phone from ATT and have not been able to make more than 3 calls on it in 10 months. have been constantly on the phone with ATT, had the phone changed out for another one, had a new sim card put in and still can not call out. YES my bills have been payed.

jim11 said: I have the same problem. My bill is paid. I stopped receiving calls a couple days ago. The internet worked until a few days ago. I did a restore and now I get the emergency screen. My iTunes says there is no SIM card. I reset the sim card several times with no change. Power off/on doesn't change anything.

sanqell said: Had the same problem. Turn the phone off and open the back take the battery out and the SIm Card. Wipe them gently with a clean soft cloth. replace both itmes and wait about 5 minutes before booting the phone back up.
